Chapter 49 Heart-to-Heart Talk
Ye Shenge saw Little Tiantian, who had been sitting by her side watching her, obedient and well-behaved. She took a lollipop from her bag and handed it to her.
"I heard your grandfather was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Do you know anyone who can make medicine or a place where I can buy medicinal ingredients?"
Mo Lin looked somewhat troubled.
"Sister, I do know such people, but they are all living in fear now and are reluctant to get involved with these things. As for the medicinal ingredients, they can be bought on the black market."
Ye Shenge understood. It seemed she still had to find Brother Kui again.
"Alright, I get it. I'll figure this out myself. Then, can you help me find a thief to steal a key for me?"
Mo Lin's face contorted. What did his sister want to do? First medicine, then a thief. But he dared not ask.
"Finding a thief is easy. Sister just needs to tell me what to steal."
Ye Shenge smiled at Mo Lin's expression, wondering if he was overthinking things.
"I need a key. Find a reason to tell the thief to go to the first primary school and find Ye Tianlong, who is in the fourth grade. I want him to take the house key that Ye Tianlong carries with him."
"Okay, Sister, I'll go find someone right now."
Ye Shenge watched the person disappear in an instant and shook her head helplessly, wondering about his impatience. Looking at the little girl beside her, who was still watching her while eating candy, her heart softened. She reached out and pulled the girl into her arms.
"Little Tiantian, do you like your current home?"
She expected no answer from Little Tiantian, and she was not disappointed. It was difficult for such an introverted child to open up.
"Little Tiantian, what happened in the past has already happened, but the family that loved you the most is watching you from heaven. If you are unhappy, they will be unhappy too, so you must live happily from now on.
Also, in the future, if Little Tiantian has anything to say, just talk to the stars in the sky at night, because one of those stars will be your grandfather."
Ye Shenge did not mention Little Tiantian's parents, as she dared not speak rashly without knowing the situation.
While Mo Lin was away, Ye Shenge patiently continued to talk to Little Tiantian, hoping she would gradually become familiar with her and this environment. She even found the time to style the little girl's hair into beautiful braids and took out a pretty hair clip from her space.
After all this, at least in the small mirror, Little Tiantian's eyes sparkled.
Luo Hansheng entered and saw a dazzling smile in the sunlight, and a captivatingly beautiful face.
Ye Shenge's eyebrows rose when she saw the person behind Mo Lin. She had not expected the visitor to be a robust young man with a chiseled face and sharp features, typical of the most popular look these days.
"Sister, I've brought him. His name is Luo Hansheng, and he's a very good big brother."
Ye Shenge stood up and extended her hand.
"Hello, my name is Ye Shenge."
This sentence, and the scene at that moment, were something Luo Hansheng would remember for a lifetime. It was also from this moment that he entered the turning point of his life.
The four of them sat down, and Ye Shenge got straight to the point.
"I need someone to help me out, someone to handle things that I cannot personally do. However, I won't ask you to commit any evil deeds that go against righteousness and morality. I'll pay you twenty yuan and thirty jin of grain every month."
Luo Hansheng had thought it was a one-time deal, but he didn't expect to find himself a job. Thinking of his family, he agreed without hesitation.
"However, let me be clear from the start: if you follow me, you cannot betray me, nor can you divulge any information about me. Otherwise, no matter where you flee, I will not let you go."
